nobody vulnerable teams it goes

 

1♦(2+ precision)-p-1♥-?

 

If you pass it will be

 

1♦-p-1♥-p; 2♦-p-p-?

I'm not very familiar with precision but I'd double after passing on the first round.

[benlessard]

Pass and defend 1NT.

 

If 2D is coming back to me ill venture a balancing double.

[gnasher]

Pass 1♥, obviously. If opener rebids 2♦ and responder passes, I'll double. If they stop in 1NT or 2♥, I'll let them play there at IMPs.

[Codo]

I had doubled 1 Heart. If I had passed first, I had passed all the way.

[andy_h]

Pass and pass.

[gwnn]

I don't remember the hand, all I remember is that Larry Cohen and Kit Woolsey both said they'd pass and double. Basically what I'm wondering is what shapes would double here? What is partner supposed to do?

The only suit they've actually shown is hearts, so double should be like a takeout double of 1♥. It would be completely wrong to make a first-round takeout double with K10x and AK in two of the suits that you're supposedly showing.

Sorry I meant to ask what shapes would double

 

here

 

1♦-p-1♥-p

2♦-p-p-?

 

or for that matter here

 

1♦-p-1♥-p

2♦-?

1♦-p-1♥-p

2♦-?

 

i would double after 1D instead of passing.

 

3325, 13 pts = double even if my pts are in the wrong suit.

They've now bid both red suits, so we'd like to have the black suits - 4225, 4324, etc. 3325 is stretching it a bit, but we do have a lot of points.
